It won't allow me to file without filling out PR as entity section or not filling out PR as entity section.

It might be that you're missing a checkbox. In order to identify a partner as the Partnership Representative (PR) you have to check the box for the partner here:

You also have to complete the specifics about the PR on the following page.

How do you get that screen to appear? I've been filling taxes for this company for years and it now has all members listed as not a person and I can't get it take a change to that screen.

Within your partnership tax return if you follow these steps you can change the information:

Under the Business Info tab choose the sub-tab Partner/Member Information
Click Edit next to the partner you want to update.
Verify the Enter Partner/Member Information page is correct - the bottom of this page is where you would un-check the box that the member is not a person
Click Continue
Continue through the questions until you get to the page I included in the screenshot above, Tell Us More About This Member
If this member is the PR , choose the box; if not, click the other boxes if they are correct and Continue

Repeat these steps for all the partners and only choose one partner to be the PR.

@robriordan

When you go through the Federal Review process on your 1065 and complete the individual's name, address and phone number on the form shown on the review screen, it does not ask for a SS#. As long as you leave the check box with the entity that the individual you are entering is representing, your return should then clear the review with no errors.

Still an issue. I've tried all the resolutions. Paper filing once again until this is fixed....which it hasn't now for over 3 years.
